McDONOUGH â While the pandemic shut down businesses, facilities, and many events for long stretches this past year, one of the few safe, socially distanced activities available to offer recreational stress release to the public was the regular fishing season at select reservoirs of the Henry County Water Authority.
The 2021 fishing season kicked off this week, as the authority offers two reservoirs for public access through Nov. 28. The HCWA Tussahaw and Upper Towaliga Reservoirs will be open weekly on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
In addition, public fishing will be open on Memorial Day (May 31), Fatherâs Day (June 20), Independence Day (July 4), and Labor Day (Sept. 6). The reservoirs will be closed on Easter Sunday (April 4) and Motherâs Day (May 9).
Five residents who have homes and businesses adjacent or near property owned by companies Tussahaw Reserves, LLC, and Keys Ferry, which want to build a rock quarry in northwest Butts County, are suing the companies, claiming the quarry would cause irreparable damage to their properties, and seeking an injunction aqainst the operation of the proposed quarry.
Priscilla Stephens, who lives on Rebon Maddox Road, Frank and Robin Carson, who live on Keys Ferry Road, and Shane and Stacey Thompson, who live on Fincherville Road, filed the suit on Dec. 14 in Butts County Superior Court. They are being represented by David J. Marmins and Rebecca Lunceford Kolb of the law firm of Arnall Golden Gregory LLP of Atlanta.
